I named my baby Sionna, after Manchan explained she was the goddess of the river Shannon. I'd never heard of that myth and most people here in Ireland have never heard of the name, and struggle with it. Which is a bit mad.

Interesting "Anya" means mother in Hungarian!

[@shinny4070]

That is very interesting, I wonder is it pronounced aw-nya or ann-ya?!

[@Dischordian]

Why do the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when he talks about Aine??

Bona night in Cork city honours Áine around the summer solstice.
